Answer 2

Explanation:

The death of Aurangzeb in 1707 A.D. marked the end of the glory of the Mughul empire. Of course, the process of disintegration of the Empire began during the reign of Aurangzeb, yet, the conditions were not so deplorable that the process could not be checked. The Mughul authority was challenged by several chiefs and Rajas at different places but none of them could assert independence and the Mughul sovereignty reigned supreme all over India.

The Marathas, the Rajputs and the Sikhs resisted the Mughul power simply to gain independence in their respective territories but not to overthrow the Empire as none had the capacity to do so. Thus, the Mughul power was yet insurmountable in India when Aurangzeb died. Therefore, if any one among the successors of Aurangzeb would have been a capable ruler, the process of disintegration of the Empire could be checked.
